The Danube, through its rich history, has remained timeless and truly enchanting. German poet Friedrich Hlderlin called the Danube "a refreshing, melodious river, sometimes foaming with high spirits, at other times dreaming serenely." This river has inspired countless musicians, composers, artists and poets throughout the centuries. Perhaps the most famous to capture the Danube was Strauss with his Blue Danube Waltz, forever symbolic of the 19th century and the Viennese waltz.

You'll soon discover the same inspiration that has mesmerized so many for hundreds of years. With a backdrop of the Austrian Alps, enchanting landscapes, lush vineyards giving way to regal cities, and ancient castles and hilltop villages, you may be writing your own waltz or tribute to the Danube. Travel from one captivating city to the next - Budapest, the beautiful "Queen of the Danube", Bratislava, the "Coronation City of Kings", and breathtaking Vienna, the "Waltz Capital of the World".

Who will enjoy this cruise: This leisurely-paced trip is for those who love history, architecture and diverse cultures in a blend of the best of Eastern and Western Europe. Music aficionados will delight in tracing Mozart's early career while in Vienna and Salzburg, as well as learning about the legacy Strauss's Blue Danube Waltz left in Vienna. And of course, food and wine connoisseurs will delight in savoring the special Sacher Torte of Vienna and the famous wines of the Wachau Valley.
